Begum Sufia Kamal is one of the few women in Bangladesh who are considered as pioneers of women's awakening. She was born on 20th June, 1911 in Barisal district of Bangladesh and died on 20th November, 1999. During her tenure, Bengali women have lagged far behind in terms of education. She overcame all obstacles and became self-educated. She not only wrote poetry but was also deeply involved in various social and political activities.
